DIY Think tank, event space and art gallery The Piranha Shop will host the first installment of the Boxes of Death 3D tour. Boxes of Death is a group show featuring 50 artists using the same coffin canvas format to create their own artistic statement surrounding the preconceived notions and ideas that surround the coffin shape. Death will reside in Seattle through the month of March and will travel south for the second show at Nemo Design in Portland on April 6th. For the third and final show the coffins will traverse the I-5 corridor to the depths of Los Angeles to unleash death at the Holding Co. during the Los Angeles Art Walk on April 12th.
